The "stolen documents" case is going to the Supreme Court eventually.

[kentuck]

And I do not have a lot of confidence in our Justice system. There are Justices on the Court that are more loyal to the Trump cult than to the Constitution. It is a possibility they would vote with the Judge in Florida, putting our national security at risk and disregarding our Constitution.

I am not certain they would follow the rule of law and vote against the criminal mobster that stole our national secrets and attempted to overthrow our government. The Justice system has been corrupted. We just do not know how much?

1. I think it's headed there too

That’s part of the reason Trump filed where he did.

[kentuck]

2. I think the strategy is to delay and to get it to the Supreme Court.

And "Trump's Justices" will save him and destroy American democracy.

[gab13by13]

4. It's never a good strategy,

to wait to indict someone when the evidence is there. Trump's new lawyer is earning his 3 million.

[gab13by13]

3. May as well allow Trump to keep the documents,

the FBI can't even do forensics on the documents to safeguard our national security.

[kentuck]

5. In my opinion...

Joe Biden should declare that only he has "executive privilege" and take control of the classified documents, and let the Judges fight it out amongst themselves what to do about it. The law and the Constitution would be on his side, in my opinion.

[gab13by13]

6. The SC already ruled that it is the sitting president

alone who decides executive privilege.

[kentuck]

7. Yes, that is the present law...

...as I understand it.

[Arazi]

8. Agreed

[getagrip_already]

9. scotus may not be much help to tfg here....

They have their own theories on unitary power and the powers of the potus.

I'm not sure they fit with permanent presidential powers or the right of private citizens to possess classified documents. And the thought tht a fpotus gets judicial preferance to the exclusion of all three branches of gov't probably won't sit well either.

Cannon is just stalling. I think she fully expects to get over ruled on appeal; in 2 years..

[sinkingfeeling]

10. I have no confidence in the courts. Not anymore.

[Hugin]

20. I have full confidence in the courts protecting a zygote...

Or certain members of a select group of privilege.

[lark]

11. I know 100% that Alito and Thomas will vote to end our democracy.

Sadly, I think that Gorsuch, Kavarape and Handmaiden will assist in the destruction of democracy for their desired christofascist driven society while roberts dithers on the side.

[Scrivener7]

12. Huh. It took days to arrest Reality Winner.

Looks like it'll be a lot longer than 2 years for tfg.

And each of these back-and-forths makes it less likely that anything will happen to him.

[Hugin]

21. I am sad to say that is my assessment as well...

Despite the gadflies who keep popping in asserting they somehow have inside knowledge that we’re full of shit.

[dalton99a]

13. The fascists in black robes are salivating at the prospect

[Bettie]

14. Honestly, at this point, I expect them to

start ruling that there are one set of laws for Republicans and another for Democrats, 6/3, of course.

Because for all his whining, Roberts really doesn't care about the rulings, as long as the money keeps rolling in for 'speaking engagements'. They are corrupt.

[tinrobot]

15. Call me crazy, but I think the recent blowback will affect them.

After the Roe debacle, they've resorted to whining about trust in the court. They wouldn't whine if they didn't think it was true.

This case could be the perfect chance for them to regain a modicum of that trust. Or not.

I expect at least Roberts and Gorsuch to side with the DOJ.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

16. I see it the same way.

That is too narrow a "win" for the rule of law, but I think TFG will lose in the SC.

[ThoughtCriminal]

17. If the election goes badly for the Republicans

They should really start to worry about an expanded court. Ruling for Trump will make the case much stronger.

[PufPuf23]

18. Agree with you. And about "eventually", time is the enemy.

The USSC at present is flawed because of who is on the court and shenanigans by a rogue GOP to stack the USSC in their less than egalitarian style.

Looks to me that the answer to many problems is to get 4 or 5 of the current Justices off the court for cause. Stomp them because if they are not stomped now this mess will never end.

[Mr. Ected]

19. When court decisions are based on politics and not on the law

You've already lost your democracy.
